Filmage: The Story of Descendents\All Page #10

They've got fans that will die for them.

FAN:
The best f***ing songs. They

were some of the fastest players.

FAN #2:
How cool is it to

have a song about fishing?

FAN #3:
Descendents really spoke

to me, and I felt like they

must be exactly like me because

this song is exactly how I felt.

FAN #4:
They wrote the stories

of a lot of people's lives.

FAN #5:
It was like the

soundtrack to our youth.

FAN #6:
I can't tell you enough

about what they've done for me.

FAN #7:
If I had a child,

his name would be Milo.

FAN #8:
He's a scientist and punk

rocker. What cooler thing can you be?

GROHL:
Thankfully there was

a point where popular bands

were influenced by bands that

actually meant something.

The Descendents were a positive

influence on generations of musicians.

MIKE:
I got to put out a Descendents record

on my label. How f***ing awesome is that?

MARK:
As far as I'm concerned, they invented pop punk

for me. That attitude and that musical sensibility.

I won't say that I entirely ripped

it off, but heavily influenced.

GROHL:
Those lessons that we learned

from them back then were important.

To this day I bet you I can play that whole f***ing

"Milo Goes To College" album, note for note.

That's how I learned

how to play the drums.

BUG:
There's no other band

like them. It's doesn't

matter which one they are.

There's just not another one.

CHRIS:
They were ahead of their time. They were

making music that these band's that hit in the '90s

wouldn't have been making probably if

it wasn't for ALL and the Descendents.

TIM:
Much of the world may not realize

that it all started with the Descendents.

MILO:
It's just been a bunch of best friends

who come in and out of each other's lives.

MILO:
I just wanted Bill to get some fruits from his

labor, his toil. Because he has toiled for many years.

MARK:
I think he feels himself

a bit of a square peg,

and the way he made his path in

life was by forging it on his own.

Had he been a poser, he would

not have been who he was.

CHUCK:
Humanities big gains, including

rock bands, are about group efforts.

If an individual can find a

group of people who will share

that enthusiasm and hard work

and focus and keep that going,

you get incredible

productivity from it.

BILL:
It's a good time right

now for us. We're having fun.

And Milo and I, when we were walking

in Austin, I remember going,

"Oh, so if we want to hang out, all we have

to is book shows and we get to hang out."

And he's like, "Yeah! Why

didn't I think of that?"
